Total net interest income grew to $61.3 million from $43.3 million, helped by higher interest income on a larger loan and securities portfolio. Total assets expanded to $20.23 billion from $19.35 billion at year-end 2025, driven mainly by growth in reverse mortgage and residential loan holdings.
The company generated $110.0 million of other income, including $17.0 million of litigation settlement income and sizable fair value gains related to HECM reverse mortgage loans and HMBS obligations. Operating leverage widened as total expenses increased to $80.4 million from $52.0 million, reflecting higher compensation, incentive fees, and transaction-related costs.
Stockholders’ equity attributable to common and preferred shareholders rose to $1.92 billion, supported by net income and $154.6 million of net common stock issuance, partly offset by $48.6 million of common dividends, $5.9 million of preferred dividends, and a $115.0 million preferred stock redemption.

Ellington Financial Inc. filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, describing a credit‑focused REIT business managed by an external manager, Ellington. The company reports a consolidated investment portfolio of $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2025 and notes Longbridge, its reverse‑mortgage originator subsidiary, and the December 14, 2023 Arlington merger.

Ellington Financial Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at a virtual annual meeting on May 28, 2026. Proposals include electing five directors, an advisory “say on pay” vote, ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor for 2026, and approving a new 2026 Equity Incentive Plan.
The company is externally managed and currently reimburses its manager or affiliates only for compensation tied to the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer.

The proposed 2026 Equity Incentive Plan would authorize 12,000,000 common shares, replacing the 2017 plan. This would increase potential equity-based dilution from about 0.4% under the existing plan to about 9.6%, while adding governance features such as minimum vesting periods, double-trigger change-in-control vesting, and prohibitions on repricing without stockholder approval.
